PA Dem. Senate Candidate Joe Sestak: Specter's phone call the "most gracious"

Joe Sestak received a lot of phone calls from important people this week. He spoke to Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Ed Rendell and Philly Mayor Michael Nutter.

But of all those calls, the one that impressed Sestak most was the one that came from Arlen Specter on Tuesday night.

"He was the most gracious, the most professional, in the most positive and warm way," Sestak said in a phone interview. "It was the standard that I’m not sure many people could meet at such a challenging time. I was quite taken with it."

He said Specter said simply, "Congratulations, Joe. I am going to support you."
